Awesom Laptop 2008-06-09
I purchase this laptop after search a lot, it's an amazing machine, the design is great too, I fully recomended to everybody that needs performance, mobility. Besides the integrated web cam is quite good, as well as the altec lansing speakers.


Windows vista experience = 3 2008-06-04
Lets start by saying it is a pretty laptop indeed!
Nice HD,the most of it's ram capacity, so, i don't understand why it is so slow! I guess windows vista sucks and this is the major problem because otherwise with 4 ram and a dual core 2.0 ghz procesor i would expect to run nice and smooth! But it does not!
It gets too hot fast and speakers are pretty lame!
don't get me wrong, it's just an average machine, don't spend time and money on this if you are tryin to work with heavy programs that involve nice sound and video or graphics! But it's ok for everything else though!

To me, this is a 600$ laptop instead of the almost thousand it costs!


DV2840SE Laptop 2008-06-02
I've had this laptop for a month now and I couldn't be happier.Bought this for a super price ($820) after rebate from Amazon. This laptop is fully loaded with 250GB hard Drive 4GB Ram, Wireless ABGN with Bluetooth. Remote Control and beautiful finish with a cool design. Machine is very fast and stylish. Battery life with the standard battery is only a couple of hours. Laptop does get a bit warm on the bottom, but not as hot as my 4 year old Mac Powerbook. The only thing missing from this machine is an HDMI connection which I would have liked. Reality was, that I would not really use it that much anyway and there is still RGB output and S Video. I hear HP tech support is lousy but hopefully this laptop won't need support.


First 2 days - Great so far but... 2008-05-25
Great notebook so far... but the blue Status led sockets (power, charge, hard disk) are sharp and keep scraping my wrists when typing. Also the keyboard to the right where the arrow keys are if you repeatedly press the "down arrow" key or the "right arrow" key; it feels as if the keyboard is not screwed down or it's just "slotted" in kind of "floating". Any other owners have this issue? Also the battery pack is shaky... not tripping off or anything but it's shaky.


Nice laptop but hard to see symbols on it and no guidebook 2008-05-25
When I first saw this laptop (which I got for my husband) I was impressed with its' sleekness. However, when we actually got down to using it, we found there was no insruction book and the symbols (eg. to increase volume, etc.) were very hard to see - the color contrast is minimal. If you are very young this is a nice machine - if you are older you may want to look a lttle further.


King of Kings!!! 2008-07-08
This comment I'm going to write in Spanish.

La HP Pavilion dv2840se Special Edition Notebook PC simplemente es excepcional. Escribo desde Perú y les digo que cualquier comentario positivo acerca de ella, no es suficiente. Cada detalle en esta computadora indica que HP ha puesto delicadeza y esmero en su construcción, comenzando por su acabado externo (Verve) de alto brillo, con ricos matices en bronce y elementos de diseño orgánico.

Tiene un procesador AMD de doble núcleo que, en relación precio - desempeño, no tiene que envidiar a sus pares de Intel. Gracias a la tecnología HyperTransport cuenta con un bus de 1600 MHz que le permite decirle adiós a los famosos "cuellos de botella" del que adolece la marca rival. Al fin y al cabo, no sirve de nada tener un Ferrari Enzo si lo vamos a rodar por un camino rural, angosto y sin asfaltar. Nunca explotaríamos todo el potencial que puede brindar la máquina. Análogamente, no podríamos aprovechar toda la potencia de este excelente procesador si no contamos con un bus que le permita desempeñarse a toda su capacidad.

Por otro lado, los 4 GB de memoria RAM la hacen ideal no solo para navegar por Internet, sino que, permite ejecutar múltiples programas al mismo tiempo sin afectar el rendimiento del sistema. Todo esto hace gala del excelente desempeño multitarea que ofrecen los sistemas AMD.

Cabe mencionar que su disco duro con 250 GB de almacenamiento se encuentra dentro de lo razonable, dadas las necesidades del usuario de hoy, que gusta de grabar grandes cantidades de datos. Lo que si no me parece muy bueno en este aspecto es que la partición de recuperación quita casi 12 GB para almacenar los archivos de recuperación del sistema, los cuales solo ocupan dos tercios de dicha partición.

Mención destacable es para el apartado gráfico. Hablo de la nVidia GeForce Go 7150M, que hoy por hoy es la mejor GPU integrada. Mucho mejor que su par de Intel, el Graphics Media Accelerator X3100. Cabe resaltar que, debido a la gran cantidad de memoria RAM, el sistema le asigna 1071 MB como memoria de gráficos a la GPU, lo que le permite hacer uso de la interfaz Aero con agilidad. Claro, siempre y cuando el uso al que se le destine sea netamente profesional, ya que si de juegos se trata, entonces su desempeño no es tan destacable como el de un sistema con gráficos discreto, por ejemplo el nVidia GeForce 8600M. La computadora posee salidas VGA y S-Video, un estándar en la industria de portátiles. Lo que haría falta, siendo muy necesario en estos días, es una salida HDMI, dado el uso masivo de dispositivos (LCD) con dicha característica.

La pantalla brinda imágenes precisas y nítidas, con un alto nivel de brillo y profundo contraste. Las pantallas de las Sony Vaio pueden llevarles la delantera a las de las HP Pavilion, pero no por mucho. Además, en el marco se incluye una webcam de 1.3 megapíxeles que resulta ideal cuando deseamos usar la mensajería instantánea, ya que capta tanto fotos como vídeo de una excelente calidad. También en el marco, custodiando a la webcam, se ubican un par de micrófonos que hacen más amenas las conversaciones y tienen un gran alcance, si se configuran de forma adecuada.

En el plano de la conectividad, esta computadora es de las pocas que incluye los estándares 802.11a/b/g/n y Bluetooth en un mismo equipo. Dicho de otro modo, no hay excusa para decir que no había forma de comunicarse con el mundo. Tengo un Access Point (AP) en casa y esta computadora capta la señal hasta en los lugares más recónditos de mi domicilio. En las aulas de la universidad ocurre lo mismo, la señal es captada con intensidad, a pesar que el AP más cercano está separado por algunas paredes de concreto.

El multilector de tarjetas lee los formatos más populares. El control remoto (el cual se puede esconder dentro de la ranura ExpressCard) es de suma utilidad y tiene un largo alcance. He grabado CDs y DVDs sin problema alguno, aunque hasta ahora no he utilizado la característica LightScribe.

El tiempo de duración de la batería de 6 celdas me parece corto. No llega ni a las 3 horas. Recomiendo que adquieran una batería de 12 celdas, si fuese posible, sobretodo si son usuarios que andan en constante movimiento. En caso de tenerla conectada a la toma AC pueden experimentar un incremento en la temperatura, por lo cual no tienen que alarmarse siempre que no le obstruyan los conductos de ventilación. Este ligero calentamiento no es una anomalía sino una prueba de que la computadora, con un suministro abundante de energía, deja de ahorrar recursos y pone en funcionamiento todo su potencial.

El sistema operativo Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit con el Service Pack 1 es el indicado para aprovechar toda la cantidad de memoria RAM que incluye este equipo. Lo que si resulta un tanto desagradable, es que HP incluya muchos programas con licencia limitada o de prueba, algunos de ellos innecesarios y hasta molestos.

En conclusión, como profesional de las TI y habiendo sido propietario de otras HP, afirmo y reafirmo que la dv2840se, libra por libra, es la mejor de su categoría, una portátil de muy altas prestaciones a un precio asequible al consumidor.


Good, after repair. 2008-06-30
I had to call HP support after multiple blue screen crashes leading finally to being unable to open Windows. Tech support tracked down the problem to a faulty memory chip. They are sending a replacement. This machine came with 3GB of memory. The 2GB chip is the one that went bad and is being replaced. I am now running on 1GB while waiting for the replacement chip. Performance is slower but no problems. I am satisfied with the computers features and performance and wouldn't try to talk anyone out of buying it. I think my problem is probobly a fluke.


Great value at discounted price + rebate 2008-06-26
At the discounted price of $900 as of mid-June + the $50 rebate, this laptop was a great value, and still is at $1000, though I would recommend waiting a bit for another HP discount to pop up this summer. The design and structure of the laptop and very slick and hip. This laptop was built and is marketed for entertainment, so I would recommend it for any families or students. 4GB of RAM is a nice boost to system performance, and the 250GB (219GB usable disk space after partition + OS) should be plenty for most users, but if not, fast external storage is getting pretty cheap these days. The screen is fantastic and the quad-band (?) is plenty fast. Overall, its a great machine with high performance for most entertainment applications. If you can snatch it for $900 or less, depending upon what rebates/coupons HP throws out there, it's a fantastic value.


HP DV Series 2008-06-21
I like the shape of this laptop but the shape is not every thing, i bought 5 laptops of the same seires and all of them have the same following problems:

1- HP DV find it difficult to communicate with encrypted wireless router .. i konw it is a windows vista issue but i face this problem in HP more than Toshiba or Acer.
2- The mouse and keyboard sensitivity is very bad, for example if i want to write www.amazon.com i discoverd that i only print ww.aazo.om with a lot of letters gone.

This was the major problem in HP DV Series and the overall system is good.




Very good indeed but... 2008-06-13
I won`t make a big review telling you all about this notebook because it`s been done already. Here`s what I think:


Pros:

- The specs help it to work real smooth, especially the 4gb RAM
- It`s stylish and has many shortcuts among the keyboard that will help you navigate through the system
- It`s very complete with webcam, DVD-WR drive, Bluetooth and Wi-fi, slick keyboard, in-built mic, 3 USB and stuff.


Cons:

- I`d like at least one more USB and located on the back of the notebook, not on the sides. It makes connecting "permanent" peripherals ugly with lots of wires appearing
- The ethernet connection is sideways as well which is not good either
- The notebook comes with Vista. Its ok, but you cannot downgrade it to XP `cause hp didn`t release many drivers to the older windows system yet. So you MUST use vista to enjoy all your new computer has to offer.
- Vista system can be lazy and slow sometimes, which is very irritating.


That`s all I think.
